I've had my early scans, and now I'm approaching the second trimester. Can I have a pregnancy scan after 12 weeks to check on the baby's development? Is that a common time for another scan?
Definitely! In fact, the major anomaly scan happens around 18-20 weeks, and with twins, I was getting scanned practically every month after 12 weeks. Your doctor will plan the exact dates, don't worry.
You will definitely have more scans after 12 weeks, especially the anomaly scan at 20 weeks. After my C-section, I realized how vital those mid-pregnancy scans were for tracking baby's growth. Just follow your doctor's schedule.
Oh yes, absolutely! I am in my third trimester now and trust me, the scans never seem to end, lol. Around 12 weeks you have the NT scan, and then the big anomaly scan around 20 weeks. Just get ready to see your baby grow!
I was so anxious about this too! The scan around 18-22 weeks is so important to check all the organs. I was extremely anxious before that scan, but everything turned out fine. Just follow your gynac's instructions carefully.
Haha, yes, you will get very familiar with ultrasound gel after 12 weeks! The anomaly scan is next, which is super detailed. Honestly, I miss those quiet scan sessions now that my baby keeps me up all night!
